MIAMI \u2014 The Atlanta Braves handled the Miami Marlins at loanDepot park during their four-game series earlier this week, so the Marlins needed to bounce back quickly against another division opponent.<\/p>\n

They leaned on strong starting pitching, most recently from right-hander Tyler Phillips, who opened Sunday afternoon against the New York Mets after typically appearing out of the bullpen.<\/p>\n

Phillips threw 3 2\/3 scoreless innings on 59 pitches, and clean outings from Calvin Faucher, John King, Anthony Bender, Michael Petersen and Pete Fairbanks helped the Marlins secure a 4-0 walk-off win on Heriberto Hern\u00e1ndez\u2019s one-out grand slam to center field in the ninth inning.<\/p>\n

It marked Miami\u2019s first sweep since it won its first three games of the season against the Colorado Rockies at loanDepot park from March 27-29.<\/p>\n

The home run traveled 416 feet and left Hern\u00e1ndez\u2019s bat at 104.9 mph, according to Statcast metrics.<\/p>\n

Searching for some offense, Christopher Morel led off the inning with a line-drive double to left field and was replaced by pinch-runner Esteury Ruiz.<\/p>\n

Javier Sanoja laid down a beautiful sacrifice bunt, advancing Ruiz to third, and the Mets intentionally walked Xavier Edwards after Liam Hicks drew a walk.<\/p>\n

According to Elias Sports Bureau, Hern\u00e1ndez is the seventh player in MLB history and the first since Kansas City Royals\u2019 Justin Maxwell on Sept. 22, 2013 vs. the Texas Rangers to break a 0-0 tie with a walk-off grand slam.<\/p>\n

He was recently demoted to Triple-A Jacksonville after struggling at the plate, but he described the moment in one word: \u201cAmazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marlins first baseman Connor Norby was taken out of the game in the sixth inning due to left elbow discomfort. <\/p>\n

Norby was hit by a 95.6 mph fastball from New York\u2019s Christian Scott in the fourth inning.<\/p>\n

Graham Pauley replaced Norby at first base, and manager Clayton McCullough told reporters after the game that he will provide a further update Monday when Miami (25-29) opens a nine-game road trip at Rogers Centre at 7:07 p.m. ET against the Toronto Blue Jays (25-28).<\/p>\n
